We Are PUBLISHING a BOOK!

As a class we have been working with the company Student Treasures to publish a free classroom book!



The title of our book is I Spy Shapes. It is inspired by the many I Spy books in our classroom library. In the book you will be asked to find hexagons, triangles, circles, rhombuses, and trapezoids. It was also a great opportunity to talk about concepts of print such as the title, title page, dedication page, table of contents, etc.

(Dedication Page)

This is the second time I am working with Student Treasures and I am really excited about this opportunity. Here is the book we made my last year at JES.

(This is the deluxe hardcover)

You as families have to opportunity to purchase if you wish. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK. I really want to stress that. Please do not feel pressured by any means to buy the book. I will make sure when we get our classroom one that like a library book it will come home to families to celebrate and read together and then finally live in the classroom library. Thursday Folders will have order information. The next part is really important... whether you choose to buy the book or not I still need the forms back. Part of our class getting the free book is providing proof that I offered it to families. On the order form at the top you check if you want to buy the book,


on the bottom is where you check if you do not.


No matter what you need to check the box that applies to you, sign the bottom line and then send the envelope AND the order form back as soon as possible. Again there is no pressure to buy a book. I just need proof that I have offered you the choice.

Here is a sneak peak inside!






We are really excited about our classroom book! Thank you for taking the time to read this, but also fill out the form!

I wish you well!

Love,
Miss Brehm

Day TWO!

Day two is truly wonderful! We have so much fun together! Today we started working on our first classroom book and WOW it's going to be AMAZING! So many beautiful illustrators and creative thinkers in this class. Also today we completed our first of many Math and Writing rotations. It's been a busy busy busy day! Now to the fun stuff. It's always said that pictures speak much louder than words and I agree 100%. So here are the pictures from our magnificent day TWO! Right after lunch we went outside to explore our school garden with Nurse Amy! We picked marigold seeds which we are going to plant in our classroom! Check out all the fun we had!  It was a busy day indeed, but so much fun! I can't wait for tomorrow! Love, Miss Brehm

Sunshine Chair

This is our Sunshine Chair! It is a very special place in our classroom where friends can go to relax, regroup, think and feel safe. In our classroom anyone can go and sit in the sunshine chair any time they want. Friends also may be invited to sit in the sunshine chair. While sitting in the chair friends are able to watch Zogika and calm their minds. It is not just for students! I myself have used the chair once or twice when I am feeling frustrated, sad or if I just need some space. I do this to model the expectations for how to use the sunshine chair, to identify feelings and to help friends self regulate. Also so friends know that it is not a time out chair or take a break chair.  Feel free to stop by anytime and check out this amazing space in our classroom! Love, Miss Brehm

PAINT DAY!

Paint is READY! We are SO excited to meet Mary and paint our elephant!! ____________________________ Today was AMAZING! It surpassed all my wildest dreams! As a group we had SO much fun creating and painting our elephants! What an amazing experience it was to end our year together on! I hope you enjoy the pictures and are able to come and check out the wonderful elephants we created with MARY! Our morning started with Mary sharing what she does and different murals she has done throughout the US. Then we watched a quick video of her time in Chester, PA painting elephants!  Then we started to PAINT! Here is the evolution of our elephants!  To the finished product! One elephant will be hung in our classroom and the other will be hung somewhere in the school for everyone to enjoy!  A truly AMAZING day!  I wish you well! Love, Miss Brehm
